Has anyone on here breed Temensis??
I have 4 Tems ranging from approximately 35-45cm and believe I have two pairs.
I am going to move them into a bigger tank either my 260g or 500g to try to see it they will pair up and breed.
I want to know if anyone has breed them or knows anything about breeding this species.
Cheers.
 
I wish i did know that would be awsome!!You already vented them ?
 
I dont think anyone on here has bred any tems but i wudnt think they're too different from any other pbass. The only difference i see is that tems just reach sexual maturity at a bigger size so no one bothers to breed them cuz of that. Putting them in the 260gallon or 500 gallon is a good start to breeding them. All you need to add is a piece of slate on the bottom of the tank.
 
They are currently in a 180 6'x2'x2' and I was thinking of the 260 which is 6'x2.5'x2.5' but may just jump and put them into the 500.
The 500g has three emperor Cichlids which should be fine with the Tems.
I have vented the four and I have two pairs i.e. one vent and the two close vents.
I am going to try to breed them because it would be a great challenge and achievement if I am successful.
